THE HORN OF AFRICA AND THE REFUGEE FIELD IN DADAAB IN KENYA

Abstract

After the Second World War, the national liberation wars of countries in Africa took place violently. The former European colonies, after the 1960s, counted on humanitarian aid from UNHCR, due to the most diverse socio-political barriers that emerged on the continent. Somalia is an example of the diaspora in Africa, due to coups d'état and violence, thousands of Somalis were uprooted and sought protection mainly in Kenya. The crisis in Somalia led to the creation of refugee camps, such as the example of Dadaab (Kenya), which has been maintained for more than 28 (twenty-eight) years. Somalia is a country that stands out in global geopolitics, but the political decline, semi-arid climate and militia activity associated with al-Qaeda, an al-Shabaab armed group, has made it even more difficult for Somali refugees to be pacified, stable and return to Somalia. your country of origin.
